Cell phone store near Quebec City port

[islander47]

I want to purchase a prepaid data SIM for my unlocked phone before our cruise ship departs Quebec City. Do you know of a cell phone store near the cruise terminal?

 

Thank you.

The Canadian telecomms market is all sorts of confusing - not every phone company has a presence in each province, or may only sell certain types of services rather than others. I know you can find Virgin Mobile stores in Quebec - I used them for years as they were the cheapest PAYG service, until Speakout appeared via 7-Eleven (who unfortunately do not operate in Quebec).

 

Perhaps someone else knows a better product than Virgin in Quebec, but if not - the nearest store to the port is at Place Fleur-de-Lys, 550 Boul. Wilfrid-Hamel, Québec, QC G1M 2S6 Tel: 418-524-5595. They're open 7 days a week.

 

Virgin will definitely sell you just a SIM in all three common sizes for $5 and the per-minute pricing is very simple at 40c per minute, double for Long Distance. Free incoming texts, 30c to send in Canada or 35c internationally. TopUp cards start at $15.
